Use of PDE5 inhibitors as a potential treatment for isolated growth hormone deficiency caused by alternate splicing of GH1 gene.

Pandey Amit , Natalia Rojas Velazquez Maria

Mutations in the GH1 gene cause isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) by affecting production, secretion, and stability of growth hormone as well as its binding to GHR. A smaller isoform of GH1 is inactive and is linked to IGHD. While studying the impact of small GH isoform, we noticed that cells with the short 17.5 kD version of GH looked different from the control cells. We found that the production of short GH isoform distorts the cell morphology, contributing to detrim...

Biochemical, Genetic and Molecular Characterization of a Novel P399_E401Dup Mutation in P450 Oxidoreductase (POR) Altering Several Enzymatic Activities in a Patient with a 46,XX DSD Phenotype at Birth

Boettcher Claudia , Parween Shaheena , Korsch Eckhard , Hartmann Michaela F , Udhane Sameer , Kagawa Norio , Fluck Christa E , Wudy Stefan A , Pandey Amit V

Background: P450 oxidoreductase (POR) mutations can present with disordered sexual development (46,XX virilisation as well as 46,XY under-masculinisation), perturbed steroidogenesis and mild to severe skeletal malformations. As POR is an obligate electron donating cofactor to many P450s, and as this interaction may vary from partner to partner, the phenotypic spectrum of PORD is extremely broad. Therefore, to characterize novel POR mutations, specific testing is required.<...

Clinical, Biochemical, Structural and Functional Characterization of a Novel P450 Oxidoreductase Mutation Causing Virilization in a 46,XX Patient

Background: Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) deficiency (PORD) is a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and results in steroid-production loss from cytochrome P450 proteins. Mutations in POR cause mild to severe forms of CAH with/without bone malformation symptoms resembling Antley-Bixler syndrome. We report a novel POR Arg550Trp mutation identified in a 46,XX patient with signs of aromatase (ARO) deficiency. Child (first pregnancy) and mother pr...

Autosomal Dominant Growth Hormone Deficiency due to a Novel c.178G>A Mutation in the GH1 Gene Causing Instability of the Mutant GH Protein (p.Ala34Thr)

Miller Bradley , Tan Jimmy , Parween Shaheena , Eble Andree , Ternand Christine , Gregory Louise , Dattani Mehul , Pandey Amit

Background: The most frequent cause of familial growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is Type II autosomal dominant GHD (isolated GHD type II) due to several heterozygous GH1 mutations.Method: Genomic DNA from patients with familial GHD was enriched for the coding exons using hybrid capture technology and GH1 was sequenced using Next Generation Sequencing technology. Plasmids containing genes for WT and A34T GH1 were transfected into NCI HEK2...

Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type 1 Caused by Mutations in CYP27B1 Affecting Protein Interactions with Adrenodoxin

Legeza Balazs , Ma Nina , Zalewski Adam , Renthal Nora , Fluck Christa , Pandey Amit

Background: CYP27B1 converts 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, playing a vital role in calcium homeostasis and bone growth. Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1 (VDDR-1) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CYP27B1.Objective and hypotheses: Enzymatic and structural analysis of mutations in a patient with calcipenic rickets.Method: Two siblings presented with calcip...

Growth Hormone (GH) Deficiency Type II: Clinical and Molecular Evidence of Impaired Regulated GH Secretion Due to an Gln181Arg GH-1 Gene Mutation

Miletta Maria Consolata , Eble Andree , Arnhold Ivo J P , Dauber Andrew , Fluck Christa , Pandey Amit

Background: Main features of the autosomal dominant form of GH deficiency (IGHD II) include markedly reduced secretion of GH combined with low concentrations of IGF-I leading to short stature.Objective and hypotheses: We report on a girl referred for assessment of short stature (−4.6 SDS) at a chronological age of 7 yr 10 mo. The GH deficiency was confirmed by standard GH provocation tests, which revealed severely reduced GH and IGF-I concentration...

Severe Juvenile Hypertrophy of the Breast with Hypercalcaemia; Mastectomy v’s Reduction Surgery

McGregor David , Candler Toby , Selby Georgina , Crowne Liz , Rayter Zenon

Background: A 10 year old girl with a background history of severe autism and developmental delay presented with significant and rapidly progressive asymmetrical breast enlargement accompanying her relatively rapid progress through puberty. There was associated tissue breakdown exacerbating her discomfort and leading to increasing problems with anxiety and behaviour.Objective and hypotheses: To explore the aetiology of the huge breast development and the...

Background: Currently, little information is available on current growth status according to birth weight at gestational age (BWGA) on Korean adolescents. Herein, the current height and weight of Korean adolescents who were born as small for gestational age (SGA) were compared to those of the non-SGA groups.Methods: Data from the population-based nationwide Korean survey 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examinatio...

Use of Dual Hormone (Glucagon) v. Single Hormone (Insulin) in the Treatment of Diabetes with Close-loop System

Nimri Revital

Background: Blood glucose levels are physiologically controlled by insulin and counter-regulatory hormones, mainly glucagon. Type 1 diabetes patients are deficient in insulin and some level also glucagon. Therefore, bi-hormonal closed-loop system seems to be the best way to control glycemia.Objective and hypotheses: There are two main approaches to add glucagon: (a) as safety measures for rescue in case of hypoglycemia (2) as a mean to optimize metabolic...

B Bricheva Ella , V Nagaeva Elena , M Abdulkhabirova Fatima , M Lapshina Anastasiya , A Mikheenkov Alexander , N Brovin Dmitry , V Bondarenko Ekaterina

Background: Thyroid cancer (TC) caused by germline mutations most often manifests in childhood. Hereditary forms of TC are divided into two groups: non-medullary and medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). A mutation in RET gene can be detected in about 95% of patients with MTC. If a mutation in RET gene is found, prophylactic thyroidectomy is recommended.Aim: To demonstrate the importance of molecular genetic ...
